Also clarifying: the author *did* apologize in detail, which is up on the original GR thread. The reviewer has also said she’s appalled ppl have hate bombed Piper CJ’s book and sent Piper harmful messages in taking her “side”.
I saw this tweet and checked it for myself. For anyone still spreading misinformation about Piper CJ ever calling a reviewer a “creep”/“pedo”: this did not happen and the reviewer/author had a very kind exchange about it: https://t.co/TvnwWXR7n8
@MsMichelleR @snglethrdofgold For sure. Based on her apology she agrees with you. I’m just concerned ppl have now sent pretty harmful messages to her based on things she didn’t do. Have also seen some wild things shared in the GR review bombs. I hope ppl give her books a chance if she shows growth.
@MsMichelleR @snglethrdofgold For sure. She has fired her editor and also posted a lengthy apology on GR on behalf of both herself and her editor that more explicitly takes accountability on both of their behalf.
@MsMichelleR @snglethrdofgold Of course. The reviewer explained she took it a certain way bc of their own experiences. Having seen the video it was easily interpreted as the reviewer having bad/weird taste. I’m concerned the author is being accused of purposefully implying something this malicious.
@MsMichelleR @snglethrdofgold Hey I know you mean well but that is not accurate. She never implied any one was into kids, that they were a pedo etc, just that they had bad taste (which was immature). She has apologized in detail on Goodreads.
@CaffeinatedFae Hey, the first apology was a person one and it's on the review because the user didn't have open DMs and she wanted to personally extend an apology. She has also apologized to the original thread.
